Hey guys! Sorry I've not been writing recently, so much as happened! I've finished college for the holidays and I had my induction for my new job. I completely messed it up and embarrassed myself. My first shift is tomorrow and I have no idea what I'm supposed to do.

Anyway, enough about my problems!

Bluestar-TMNT-Warriors requested a fic where Leo finds out about Raphael being the Night watcher by hearing about him in the news after having an accident.

Rated: T (For Swearing) Genre: Hurt/Comfort/Family

Locked Up

Leo couldn't believe it.

He couldn't fucking believe it.

How stupid is his little brother?

How irresponsible, hot-headed, idiotic and selfish was his brother?

Leo shook his head as tears burned in his eyes, he was running in the rain on a rooftop towards a police station where his brother was being held over-night.

He was being sent to a government facility in the morning for testing.

He had been sitting in the living room watching the news when the next article was discussed, they were talking about the night watcher again.

Except this time they had found out who it was.

Leo leant forwards in interest, he needed to find this guy and wan him of the dangers of being a vigilante.

Suddenly a picture of his brother unconscious on the ground came up on the TV screen, his red mask tails were lying in a puddle behind his head.

His jaw fell open and a sick feeling overwhelms him.

They were talking about his little brother… his brother is the night watcher.

''This strange creature has injured many civilians during his vigilante run and is now being held in police custody. He will be sent to a nearby facility run by the government in order to find out what this strange creature really is. He won't be able to terrorize New York any longer.''

Leo shook his head at the new reader's statement.

He suddenly felt incredibly angry.

They had no right to treat his brother like some freak, if it had been some human they would've treated him like a hero!

He leapt up as fear consumed him once again.

Police Custody? Government facility?

What were they going to do to his brother!?

And that's why he's running now.

The police station was in view.

He knew he'd have to be careful now.

He should've told the rest of his family, his other two brothers should e helping him right now.

He jumped down into the alley and carefully crept up to the glass doors and peeked in, there was only one policewoman?

She wasn't even looking at the doors, she was too busy tapping away at her computer. He silently opened the door enough for him to sneak in, he stayed crouched as he headed towards the only door that didn't say toilets.

He tried to push it open but it was locked.

It needed a code.

He looked up at the number pad and studied it, Donatello had told him how to work out the code.

He found the four most pressed button and keyed in a random sequence, the light turned red. He tried again this time the light went green and he was able to silently push the door open.

He padded down the corridor, he noticed the security cameras but ignored them.

Their existence was revealed now anyway, might as well show the humans what they'd do if one of their own was taken.

It wasn't difficult to find Raph's cell as it was the only one with a policeman actually standing outside it.

Lonardo charged at the man, the poor guy didn't have a chance.

He knocked him out and stole the keys off his belt and unlocked the cell door. He opened it slightly and peeked it.

It was dark inside the cell with only a sliver of light coming from the partially opened door, with that light he could see the silhouette of his brother huddled in the corner.

He was covered in heavy chains and had a muzzle around his mouth, he refused to look up.

Never had Leo seen his brother look so defeated.

He carefully opened the door the rest of the way and walked towards Raphael. His brother shifted slightly.

''Raph'' He breathed as he knelt down and began to free his brother, Raphael jumped and stared at Leo with wide eyes. Leo gave him a sympathetic yet slightly disappointed look. ''Or should I be calling you Night Watcher?''

Raph bowed his head and Leo undid the muzzle before working on the chains again.

''I'm sorry'' Raph whimpered, Leo felt sick at how upset his brother sounded. ''I'm so sorry Leo… I fucked up real bad this time…''

Leo refused to answer.

''I fucking revealed us Leo! I got caught and now I'm gonna be tested on'' Raph tried to hide his tears but he couldn't.

''You will not be tested on'' Leo frowned, ''I would never let that happen to you''

''Why?'' Raph asked miserably. ''I failed our family…''

''You didn't fail us'' Leo sighed, ''You didn't mean to be caught… It was just an accident…But why didn't you tell anyone what you were doing? This was so dangerous Raph and look where it's gotten you.''

''I should've but I was scared you guys would stop me'' Raph sniffed. ''I'm sorry''

''It's ok'' Leo sighed sadly as he listened to Raph cry.

''What's going to happen to us?'' Raph asked fearfully.

''We have to get out of this police station first'' Leo deadpanned. ''Then we'll worry about that''

''Wh-Where's Mike and Don?'' Raph asked suddenly.

''Safe in bed… as is Father'' Leo smiled weakly. ''I didn't think to wake them up''

''So… they have no idea what's happened?''

''Not yet'' Leo replied. ''We have to tell them, they watch the news Raph and your face is all over it''

Raphael flinched as the chains fell off of him.

''Come on'' Leo helped his brother up but frowned when he saw him limp. ''What's wrong?''

''One of the scumbags I'd usually knock out hit me with his car when I was fighting his buddies… that's how I was caught… it knocked my helmet off and I was pinned to the floor by his stupid wheels'' Raph explained bitterly. Leo sighed.

''Well… this will make escaping a lot more interesting'' Leo shook his head as he helped his brother walk out the cell. ''You're lucky this place is dead this time of night.''

''You shouldn't have come to free me'' Raph frowned.

''I shouldn't have come alone'' Leo corrected.

''No… You shouldn't have come at all, you could've been caught'' Raph replied.

''We've already been caught and are all over the news'' Leo shook his head. ''I think we're fine… I couldn't just leave you here Raph… When I saw you on the news and found out what they had planned for you… I have never been so scared, I actually thought I was going to sick''

Raph said nothing but bowed his head guiltily.

''Hey'' Leo nudged him. ''It's gonna be ok''

''No it won't be'' Raph growled. ''I fucked up everything… everyone's gonna hate me''

''We're a family Raph'' Leo smiled gently. ''Nobody will hate you… you're allowed to make mistakes.''

''Why aren't you mad?'' Raph asked in confusion.

''Because I just had the biggest scare of my life… all I can feel right now is relief that you're safe and worry for your leg'' They both looked down at Raph's leg. ''It looks really swollen and bloody''

''Thanks'' Raph grumbled.

Leo snuck his brother out of the police station and helped him up onto the rooftops, their journey home was slow but silent.

Once back in the lair Leo helped Raph onto the couch.

''I'll go wake Donnie'' Leo yawned, ''He'll need to take a look at your leg.''

''Leo, wait'' Raph reached out towards Leo, Leonardo looked at him tiredly. ''I just wanted to say… Thanks…''

''It's ok Raph'' Leo smiled.

''You didn't have to help me''

''I'm your big brother… it's what I do'' Leo chuckled. ''But I'm warning you now, you're going to tell everyone what's happened once Donnie's fixed you up.''

Raph nodded and smiled as Leo disappeared upstairs, he had never been so thankful for having a big brother.
